hola mercedes :)) My, how we think alike yet again...
Just seeing that you had alerady responded to Samadhi exactly as i just did...
No, they don't make 15 mg - nothing below 37.5 ... But, Samadhi, i urge you to consider opening the capsules and dividing the grains up - I did it all the way down -- If you can get a sample pack, take the 37.5s until they're gone and then what i did was to divide 75s into thirds and take 25 mgs for a while (2 of the 75s could give you 6 days) and then divide them in 4ths or 5ths... Or whatever. But you REALLY need to taper off more before trying cold turkey -- and even then don't go cold turkey on your last pill but keep a spare or two so you can go off 2 days and then have a bit to take to ease the SE's on an every other day or every 3rd day basis...
really..
I would discourage you from thinking that this withdrawal is about "being tough" and "sticking it out" -- Seems that doesn't reap any benefits compared to tapering and easing SE's with another mini-dose...
